USA can build their own volcano. Don't need that foreign lava.

To be fair, all the AI:s went like "please note that this way of doing tarriffs is extremely naive", so it wasn't really their fault. They were just trying to be helpful to the user. Who was a moron.

50k recently gathered in Rome to protest for democracy on a moments notice. An issue they haven't even been having problems with, lol 😂 200k for a country the size of USA is NOTHING. 200k is a NFL stadium event, which happen regularly. Your significant protests SHOULD be about 1-3 million people.

There's a threshold amount of people below which it is not news. Un-news are generally not reported by anyone. Solution? Make the amount of people above the threshold. Serbia recently had 12-14% of it's population go to the capital. Other cities were essentially empty and quiet.

We know how big it is, and indeed it is unreasonable for a whole bunch of states to go to the capital. But you're missing the point - disregard California - we're not even seeing the neighbour states of Washington D.C. going there!

Based on how the involved parties communicate the event I don't believe the "missing" soldiers were kidnapped. I think they drove onto a Lithuanian mine, or their vehicle ended up in water and they drowned. And the military is simply communicating a semi-secret event in a weird way.

The countries that have purchased the airplanes as their main air superiority fighter thought this detail was inconsequential since USA are such a reliable ally, and a stable country to boot. With recent developments they're suddenly finding that detail highly relevant and deeply concerning.

This has been reported to be true here by technical people with knowledge and insight of the subject. The F-35 planes need to phone home to USA once per day, and if USA does not reply with the correct message then the planes refuse to fly. That is, in effect, a kill switch.

Well, the immediate effect will be that European wines will become prestigious to buy and drink in USA because they'll be associated with high price. Beyond that, I don't know.
